Asturian-American Migration Forum

Personally I don't like. It's an extremely cruel and unpleasant art/sport/whatever. Its modern fandom is small and dwindling (and it never was too large in Asturies), even in traditional bullfighting territories. For instance in Oviedo the bullring was closed down three years ago due to structural p...

La diferencia entre lengua y dialecto es a menudo difusa y más ligada a la política que a la lingüística. Realmente ésta no es una disciplina exacta como lo pueda ser la física, de modo que las arbitraridades son quizás por ello más acusadas así como la manipulación a la que se ve sometida. La manip...

Asturiano.

Home, nun ye perfeutu pero endagora ta bien. Ya meyorará col tiempu.

Allégrome que te preste. Abúltame que nun hai munchos proyeutos asemeyaos a lo que fai esta bona xente y la verdá ye que Asturies precisa toles voces crítiques que se puean llograr. Endagora esta fai'l so llabor selemente, poro seique col tiempu algame una meyor posición dientro los medios asturiano...

Hi :) Here I bring to you the link of a page that maybe will be of your interest. It's the Atlántica XXII's page, a new (one year since its creation) journal about Asturian politics and culture. It's written by professors, academicians and journalists considered outsiders by their fellows and member...

Bueno, pero en vuestro caso tuvisteis, o tenéis aún, una socialización total de los medios de producción. El estado dice qué, cuánto y cómo producir en todas las esferas económicas. Yo por ejemplo tampoco deseo llegar a esos extremos porque creo que un férreo y absoluto control de la economía result...

Gracies por retrucar :) De les frases que escrebisti les tres primeres tengoles senties, sobretou la tercera ( nun soi a facelo sedría cumu yo lu oyera). La última aseméyaseme más al mou gallegu, emplegando cumu sinónimu que ta cuitando/cuchando. Equí nel centru nun sentí esa forma nenyures, polo me...

Quiero vos entrugar a quienes faléis asturianu occidental una dulda que teo no tocante a la so gramática, esautamente al so xerundiu. ¿Faise tamién cumu nel casu gallegu/portugués arriendes de la forma corriente?. Por exemplu: Gallegu : Estou a facer un traballo - Estou facendo un traballo. Asturian...

Do you see the public education, health care, and other systems being dismanteled in Spain? Yes, I do. From my point of view the public education has worsened its quality enormously through the last decades just as the health care, while the private sector has, and is, gaining strength. I really th...

I think Spaniards are the opposite. There's a tendency to have a position of everything and to argue about everything. Conflict-lovers. But nobody really tries to solve nothing. After all It's better and easier to settle problems by talking about them while drinking a cold beer instead of getting in...

I think he means that the Communist bloc forced capitalist countries to provide their workers and citizens a welfare system because if they didn't do it, they'd run the risk of proletariat revolutions. To avoid the risk the 'revolutionary forces' were calmed down. I think this happened mainly in Eur...

Thanks for the info, Anzu ;). Knowing the ALLA has published researches on this topic, I'll seek some tittles. It's really interesting. Anyway if we tried to change our surnames to the original spelling, I'm sure it wouldn't be understood correctly. I mean, If I did it, I would be trying to recover ...

I didn't know that Asturian patronymics used -i as suffix instead of -ez , do you have any source to consult, Anzu?. It really makes sense anyway, considering the amount of places ended that way; Canteli, Esteli, Carrandi, Llamasandi, Villameri... It seems Latin genitive survived here somehow better...
